        Hi Scott
        Maybe you are thinking of Luke 11:38 "wash before
        dinner"? (cf BAPTISMOS washing of cups)

        LXX only has two occurences:
        2Ki 5:14 Naaman washing in the Jordan
        Isa 21:4 ANOMIA ME BAPTIZEI - lawlessness drowns me(?)

        As for sprinkle, LXX has RhAINW (Ex 29:21, Lev4:17 etc,
        Isa 45:8, Eze 36:25) and RhANTIZW (Lev 6:27 2Ki9:33
        Ps 50:9 cf Hebrews 9)

        Cheers
        S.
